Yes, and I hope such option will appear one day :) > It would be annoying to change the configuration file for every server > that doesn't work with both http://www.foo and http://foo.

It would only affect people which set this option to strip www by default in the config file, and so this option would only be used by those who don't mind editing the config file when encountering an inaccessible server. For me having the same server cached twice is much worse than having to edit the config file occasionally. It is much worse, because disk space is wasted and I have WWWOFFLE on a flash card, and flash is not too cheap, and sometimes a page is requested even though a cached version is available, but in a non-www or with-www URL-version. Currently I put every server which happens to appear in links in two different versions (with www and without) in the Alias section in the config file, and that is for sure more work than just putting the ones which don't work without www in there. Therefore I encourage you to implement such option. -- Miernik _________________________ xmpp:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___________________/_______________________/ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Protect Europe from a legal disaster.
